@prologic@twtxt.net Hm, same startup delay. (Go is not an option for me anyway.)

It’s hard to tell why all this is so slow. Maybe in this particular case it has something to do with fonts: strace shows the program loading the fontconfig configs several times, and that takes up a bulk of the startup time. 🤔 (Qt6 or Java don’t do that, but they’re still slow to start up – for other reasons, apparently.)

To be fair, it’s “just” the initial program startup (with warm I/O caches). Once it’s running, it’s fine. All toolkits I’ve tried are. But I don’t want to accept such delays, not in the year 2025. 😅 Imagine every terminal window needing half a second to appear on the screen … nah, man.

@bender@twtxt.net I don’t think so ? 🧐😂🤦‍♂️

Sorry better verison

New beginnings, new horizons. New pod logo 🤟

LOL 😂 I think mastodon.social is broken 😞

@therealprologic@bridge.twtxt.net It works! 🤣 Now I’m quite sure we haven’t got threads working yet 🤔

Truly amazing and I agree with @quark@ferengi.one, more people need to know about Thomas Dambo’s wooden trolls: https://netbros.com/1750512577/ So beautiful! :-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org the English dub is fairly good. Will watch!

@quark@ferengi.one Yes, keep em coming. :-)

@prologic@twtxt.net Just start off the experiment now and see how far you get. :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de unison seems pretty fast for me, and quite nice looking on my macOS desktop. It’s bsed on GLFW, but it seems to work quite well 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net Haha 😆

GtS is easier than running Yarn, by the way. Word

This is total bullshit 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net no, I really meant small. I only have a handful of GiBs left of storage. If you can wait until mid-December, then no probleml. Right now it is kind of running on fumes. For testing, and to do not disturb anyone timelines, I recommend you run a small test instance. Running GtS is easier than running Yarn, by the way. Word.

@bender@twtxt.net It’s good enough ti iron out any bugs 🐛 Can I haz an account? 🙏

@prologic@twtxt.net ah, yes, one of those, yes. Too small for testing though. 😅

Hey @mastodon@bridge.twtxt.net 👋

@bender@twtxt.net Not even a GotoSocial server? 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net not Mastodon, nope.

@bender@twtxt.net You don’t run one anymore do you? 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net the worse case scenario is your account gets blocked/banned. 😅

@bender@twtxt.net Bit big of a server no? 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net just create an account on mastodon.social, wouldn’t that work?

Someone, on the Bridge, this is meant to have sent @manton@bridge.twtxt.net a “Follow Request” via Activity Pub hmmm 🧐

Test (_did I fix this shit™-)?

Hey @manton@bridge.twtxt.net 👋 Why yes I believe I did!

Anyone run a Mastodon serve rI can have an account on to help test the Twtxt <-> Activity Pub bridge? 🙏

@bender@twtxt.net I need another side that I can unblame 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net we are not going to get far by blaming the other side. 😅😂

I think because it still inserted the wrong alias in my following list:

# follow = manton@bridge.twtxt.net https://bridge.twtxt.net/twtxt/remote/d428c49928a4a0d1.txt

Testing 1 2 3 @manton@twtxt.net

Test @-mentioning@twtxt.net an AP actor via the Bridge. Hey @manton@twtxt.net 👋

For those curious, the new Twtxt <-> ActivityPub bridge I’m building (bidirectional) simply requires three things:

1. You register your Twtxt feed to the bridge: https://bridge.twtxt.net
   
2. You verify that you in fact own/control the feed by putting the verification code somewhere on/in your feed (doesn’t matter where or how)
   
3. You proxy/forward requests for /.well-known/webfinger to the Bridge bridge.twtxt.net.
   

I’m still testing through and ironing out bugs 🐛 Please be patient! 🙏

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org LOL, that one was too good to pass, right? I am glad you are enjoying my little notes in a bottle!

Man, @quark@ferengi.one has an absolute gold mine. Having dealt again with different clocks and all sorts of strange time things at work today, this made my day! https://netbros.com/1755172401/ :‘-D

@bender@twtxt.net Hahahahahaahaaa, you’re right, it can’t be anything else! :‘-D Must have been one of these manmade objects. Let’s hope they will become a full member of the Grant Wishes Council soon. In any case, I will keep trying.

@prologic@twtxt.net oh dear god. Keep us posted! 😅

@bender@twtxt.net Twtxt <-> ActivityPub (2nd time’s the charm? 🤣)

@prologic@twtxt.net how could we ignore it?! Twtxt bridge? Of what kind? Say more! :-P

Testing new design, architecture and implementation of a Twtxt bridge I’m working on…

verification-token: ee9bc4da3356f4990671

Please ignore.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org then it was, most likely, space debris—which, sadly, make up for 98% of all space anomalies these days. And thought they have applied to the Grant Wishes Council, they are yet to be approved. Keep playing, though. 😅

@bender@twtxt.net I wished my mate would see it, too. But he turned his head a second too late. :-(

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I hope you were prepared to cram those wishes in 3 seconds. I am always prepared for that eventuality. You don’t have to mutter a word, nor clearly think much about it—that is, you don’t need to think your wish(es) word-by-word. As long as you stay within the wish(es) main goal(s), you should be fine, and it/they shall be granted, of course.

@kiwu@twtxt.net is it almost over, or just got closer to the next one? 🧩

@kiwu@twtxt.net doing awesome, how about ya? We are having some coolish days, which are super rare, so I am enjoying them plenty!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yup, it’s been some days here, too.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Haha, you were spot on! It took me a bit to figure this out on my own. I’m actually very surprised to have gotten this wrong. Oh well.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yeah, I noticed that too. I haven’t double-checked my code, though. Maybe it has something to do with selecting the correct URL? I mean, these feeds don’t have any # url = fields, so maybe that’s it?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Ah, there it is. 😃 Never gets old. 👍

@arne@uplegger.eu … I still haven’t watched that show. 🤦

@prologic@twtxt.net And none of them use Yarn-style threading. I don’t think they’re aware of us, they’re probably using plain twtxt. Other than one hit by @threatcat@tilde.club a few days ago, I’ve seen no traffic from them. 🤔

@bender@twtxt.net Hmm, didn’t find anything. But you mean a giant bucketload of access_log /home/$USER/logs/access.log if=… where the condition matches the requested path for said user? Yeah, that gets annoying very quickly. :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Uuuhhh, beautiful! <3
